Abstract
The aim of this paper is to apply the relatively new Adomian decomposition method to solving the system of linear fractional, in the sense of Riemann-Liouville and Caputo respectively, differential equations. The solutions are expressed in terms of Mittag-Leffler functions of matric argument. The Adomian decomposition method is straightforward, applicable for broader problems and avoids the difficulties in applying integral transforms. As the order is 1, the result here is simplified to that of first order differential equation.
